Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We've been CS members, hosts and surfers since 2010, and have had the good fortune of staying with amazing people all across North America. We now have an adventure-loving child that we can't wait to introduce to the wonderful world of CouchSurfing. CS provides a unique and authentic way to become immersed in and experience a city/town/state/region/country/continent like a local and get a true feel for what life is really like there. Truly invaluable!

Interests

Sarah: Nordic culture, French language, open source learning, nonprofit innovation and racial justice activism.

Nick: Food science, etymology, relativity (as it pertains to physics), and the Socratic method.
